Pros

Family oriented Very safety oriented and becoming much better lately. Great group of people to work with. Company truck.. for now Lots of overtime opportunity Going in the right direction with recent restructuring of management.

Cons

Lots of overtime opportunity. (Yes, a pro and con) Many years of miscommunication and incompetence from various levels have made inventory an issue before there were even supply chain problems. Past favouritism made going to work sometimes a chore. (this appears to be changing as there has been a recent change of management)

Business Outlook

Pros

At one point was really a great place to develop professionally. An individual could come in at an entry level position and gain enough skills to promote within the company or move on to a better position outside the company.

Cons

Senior management is very reactive to situations. The company has become so top heavy they get in their own way too much. They make it extremely difficult to actually conduct business.
